280 sqm house on 1.7 hectares of land. Elevation 650 meters on Batu Karu facing South West. Our area is a UNESCO heritage site because of the ancient rice terraces and beauty. Bali's best hiking, mountain bike riding, rivers and old temples. This is real old stlyle Balinese life. We have 2 or 3 mountain bikes.

The house is on a coffee / chocolate plantation. Village/Banjar Kayu Puring.
The house has much more furniture then in these photo's listed.

Neighbors are super friendly. Our family will help you with anything you need.

Staying here made our trip to Bali. We found the house easy, as all the neighbors new Devi's place. The house and area are gorgeous! Big open modern design. Sliding glass doors wrap around half the house so we can feel we are in the nature while being inside the shade of the house. The house overlooks the family's coffee trees and coconut trees giving it a jungle feel. The Balinese we encountered are so friendly. We can feel there are not many westerners that come up and stay around here. We went to the local Temple "Pura Tamba Waras" Meaning, "Medicine to get you well". Balinese actually come from all over Bali to visit this temple. Devi has sarongs in the house to bring to the temple and must be worn to enter. We read that there are no stores very close so we brought food up to cook. There is a person that stops by in the morning with a pick up truck and brings fruit and vegetable from the market for all the people around here. So we didn't have to leave in the end to get more food. The kitchen in the house is state of the art. top quality cookware and stove and oven. Devi's family gave us papaya and other fruits. I went coffee picking with Devi's grandmother, That was fun. The walking and site seeing was the highlight of this stay. We recommend staying at Devi's if you would like an amazing house in one of the most beautiful parts of Bali.

Had a lovely stay in this gorgeous house. I came for some chill out time and it was perfect. It was large and open, with a modern kitchen, washer/dryer etc. with big windows overlooking the farm. I was able to go for walks and bike rides - all beautiful surroundings and so unspoilt - and when I did need the internet, I walked up to the family house. They are very welcoming and it was nice to have an excuse to be in a true Balinese home environment. Next time I will be sure to book a longer stay! Would happily recommend it.

Our house is located at Lalanglinggah village, in the middle of cocoa, banana and coconut plantations. Close to rice farming and only five minutes to Balian beach. Lalanglinggah is more traditional Bali : slow placed, local friendly and natural.

Our house is one bedroom with king sized bed, suroundings by green farming and fish pond.

Balian beach is one of the best surfing spots on Bali and there are many restaurants/bars and warungs where you wan choose from cheaper local meals to fine dinning.

This little villa in the traditional town of Lalanglinggah is absolutely beautiful! The photos do not capture it's wonderful charm. Although only a few minutes to the famous surf at Balian Beach, it is quiet and lovingly nestled within the tropical surroundings with banana, guava and coconut trees among many others. The entchanting little villa and its surroundings provide the perfect backdrop to experiencing the best of Bali with the comfort of a clean kitchen and bathroom, a comfortable bed, a delicious traditional breakfast prepared and served in the villa every morning and only a short distance to Balian beach, one of Bali's most famous surf beaches... We had the most perfect holiday and we can hardly wait to stay here again. Thank you Nyoman, you made our stay amazing!

Andrea2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Here we are again! We just couldn't help ourselves! As always this little villa has been absolutely charming... a bedroom with on suite as well as a kitchen and outdoor sitting area in this traditional village provided us with the most amazing backdrop for our stay close to the world famous Balian beach. Nyoman is an amazing host and everyone in the village is very welcoming without overstepping any boundaries. We highly recommended this gorgeous little place that comes with a daily traditional breakfast prepared for you at the Vila every day.

Benjamin2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

The Nyoman's place is awesome ! Very quiet and beautiful spot, only two minutes from the beach with the bike. Nyoman has been really nice to us and we would definitely come back.

In charming and authentic Bali, next to Balian majestic surf spot , those 2 villas are nestled in a 20 ares tropical garden with stunning full sea view. Facing a beautiful rice paddy , it is only 100 meters from pristine 30 km long Mejan Beach.

Mejan beach is 30 km long with stunning view of the volcanos. We like to swim in the large natural pools in Balian river. Or to walk along the rice paddies. The caves can be visit during low tide.
Balian village hosts a few good restaurants and little cafes. Here come the surfers who prefer unspoiled waves and a natural way of life.

Amazing secluded house with a fantastic view! We did great walks other the rice fields, surfing, yoga, and great massages at the house! And we had the chance to have the wonderful company from Dwi, who took great care of us!

Andréane2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

It's a very quiet place. Very good for people who want privacy. Before you stay here , you may want to buy some food and drinks and if you want to go any where , it would be a good idea to rent a motorbike.

Yoshie2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Wonderful place for nature lovers located out of touristic noise. People in the village are very helpful, just like Dwi and his wife taking care of us. Thank you Marie and Dwi

Martina2016-10-26T00:00:00Z

from the moment we were welcomed at the airport from Dwi, we felt very welcome at Bali. Villa Belong is just beautiful and we felt like in Paradise. Away from the tourist area with Wonderful views. Dwi and his wife made it just perfect, as they are natural and authentic. This few days were not enough, we would like to come again.

Marieke2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Villa Belong was fantastic. Surrounded by beautiful nature, rice fields, sights and sounds of the ocean, this house is ideal for a secluded getaway. The grounds surrounding the house are pristine, an oasis of plants, flowers and trees in the midst of a lush Balian landscape. Minutes from the ocean and the beautiful black sand beach. Small, but great pool to cool off. The experience was hugely enhanced by the groundskeeper Dwi and his family, who maintain the property in the most unobtrusive manner, and are there whenever you need them, be it for a ride to the market, breathtaking sightseeing, harvesting the fruits from the garden or to troubleshoot the wifi connection (which is largely at the mercy of the local provider and can be spotty). Their smiles and hospitality are infectious and will always be remembered. We recommend Villa Belong without reservation.

Vuk2017-01-21T00:00:00Z

The villa is lovely and quiet at the bottom of a secluded dirt road. It was lovely and clean and had everything you needed but may be a little overpriced for the facilities.. wifi that didn't work properly, air conditioning that didn't work and a limited supply of hot water. The pool was nice but sadly the copper in the pool turned our hair green. The caretaker of the property Dwi and his family were lovely people and made us feel welcome. The main drawback is that you have to go everywhere by scooter along a main road with very heavy traffic to get anywhere else. We did this to get to Medewi beach half an hour away but it is quite stressful driving on that main road and you need to watch out for policeman pulling you over in the area for driving licences!

Katy2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

We (me, my wife and our two sons, 3 and 5) stayed a week in Villa Belong and loved every single day. It's a beautiful and quite place, but with a lot of amazing things to discover and to do nearby. The Housekeeper Dwi and his whole family were just awesome and took care of us, whenever we needed something. I'll never forget the first morning, when we woke up and found fresh coconuts and fruits from the garden on the table. Perhaps one of the best things, which aren't in the description, is the lovely cat Mira who is living nearby the house. Please, all of you who will come here, take good care of her, our hearts are bleeding to leave her. So, thanks Marie, thanks Dwi, for everything. We'll come back, no later then in 16 years, when our released turtles are coming back ;)

Fabian2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

The owner wasn't there at the time. But the manager Dwi and his wife were. And Dwi is just the nicest person! Everything we would need he fixed within a couple of minutes. Apart from that, the house is just beautiful! I hope Balian remains one of the more quite spots on Bali.

Enjoy the rice view from your window, 2 minutes walk to the beach. Walk through the rain forest and the rice field to get to the house. Enjoy the unforgettable experience.

Embedded amongst rice paddies in a beautifully furnished house with love for detail, this hidden gem makes for a perfect vacation for 2 or 4 people. The house is made up of a kitchen and lounge in the middle and one double room to either side, each with their own bathroom. Privately located without other bungalows close by, the house is rustic-style with very natural surroundings. - Communication is perfect: Wayan speaks fluent English and will be quick to reply on any channel - Wayan makes a great breakfast in the morning - Internet is fast and reliable - hardly any mosquitoes in the area Highly recommended to book this place. It is especially perfect for a group of 4.

Felix2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

Place is literally in the middle of rice fields which makes an amazing atmospehere, especially in the morning when you wake up. If you prefer bit more secluded area where you can escape from busy touristic locations, this is the right one. The house is spacious and light. All was clean and prepared for us nicely. Alam-the host was very friendly, he shared a lot of travel tips and coocked tasty and complete balineese breakfast ecery day. I can recommend to stay at Alam's place!

Tomas2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

Amazing location, Wayan was really helpful and just a really nice person; even drove us down to Canggu! Thank you Wayan and Ketut!! Really enjoyed it

Harry2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

Loved this place! Tucked inside a private property of lush rice terrace, Alam Balian is delightful. Our host Wayan is great, very helpful and friendly. He drove us to a restaurant on the first night, hosted a family meal of local delicacies on the 2nd night, supplied us with free water during our stay and drove us to Ubud for a very reasonable rate. Go here if you want to enjoy nature's serenity with a gorgeous and secluded beach within an arm's reach. Local cafes serve excellent food, people are friendly and Balian village is just perfectly picturesque. I will return there next time I am in Bali. Five star rating and many thumbs up.

Samara2017-01-13T00:00:00Z

I had an amazing stay with Wayan. Nice little place out in the rice fields and I was even lucky enough to see rice planting.

David2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Staying at Wayans place was awesome. It's in the middle of a rice field so you have a nice view to wake up to. Also he came everyday to make us breakfast also Indonesian breakfast! The house is very clean. We had a kingsize bed which was very comfortable. And the house is so near to the beach. We rented a scooter also with the help from Wayan for a very good price. I highly recommend to stay at Wayans place to meet him and his adorable daughter and wife!

Leila2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Prepared to be lulled to sleep by the sound of crickets chirping and frogs croaking! This is a wonderful secluded spot surrounded by picturesque ricefields and only a few minutes' walk to black sanded Balian Beach and a village with restaurants and bars. The owners Wayan and Ketut are great hosts. Big thanks to Wayan for staying up late the day we arrived, for lovely breakfasts and for arranging a driver for us to go sightseeing. Balian Beach is quiet but has a good surfer vibe with plenty of restaurants and bars and a chilled out vibe. We also recommend the night market (from 5pm) in the village proper for some tasty treats.

All bamboo sustainable house in quiet rural Bali. Panoramic view from high on Mount Batukaru. Set in farmland, experience traditional Balinese community, lifestyle and food far from the tourist scene. Visit temples or trek in jungle and rice paddies

Set in Banjar Anyar, a small village on the slopes of mount Batukaru, experience traditional Balinese village life on the edge of the rainforest. Ideal for nature lovers, the adventurous or those wanting to see a side of Bali hard to find in tourist areas.
The two storey bamboo house is surrounded by 2000m sq. of organic gardens and food forest and can accommodate up to four comfortably. Downstairs, the accommodation comprises of an open kitchen, bathroom and a seating/dining area, opening directly out into the gardens and ponds. Upstairs consists of a central sleeping area (with a large double bed), a partitioned second double bed and relaxation area, and can be completely opened up to provide a 360 degree view encompassing the rainforest to the North, Pura (Temple) Muncak Sari and Gunung Agung to the east, the lights of Kuta and Nusa Penida to the South and food forest stretching out to the West.
The local area offers a wide variety of activities from visiting the neighbouring Pura Muncak Sari or Pura Batukaru (both part of the UNESCO protected Catur Angga Batukaru), trekking in the jungle or a more sedate walk through the small villages, expansive rice paddies and protected rainforest. A wide variety of hot springs are available in the area ranging from a large commercial operation with swimming pool through to a couple of pools by a remote temple.
For those already trekked out, we also offer lessons in Bahasa Indonesia/Basa Bali by the local school's English teacher, a carving workshop with a local carver, a local priest with car also offers a half day introduction to Balinese Hinduism (visiting home, village and regional temples, explaining their function and place in Balinese life), and the staff can teach offering making and give cooking lessons. A variety of massage is also available on request.
The surrounding gardens produce a large amount of coffee and a wide variety of other fruits, vegetables and local crops. The land is still actively farmed providing organic meals and snacks for guests. It's also a great opportunity to learn about the local crops from coffee, bananas and rice through to local delicacies such as bongkot and ferntip. We also raise rabbits, ducks and a number of types of edible fish.
Food is usually prepared by staff from the village who cook at the house using ingredients from the surrounding organic gardens. The guys are on site from 8am through to 7pm either cooking, gardening or offering locally grown coffee and snacks for Rp150.000 per person per day all inclusive. Three meals a day are made up of local dishes and usually include a chicken dish, a tempeh or tofu dish, a couple of vegetable dishes and sambals all prepared using what is currently in the garden. It's a great way to try some new food with dishes featuring ingredients like banana flower, heart of palm, banana stem, coffee leaves and wide number of local ingredients.

The area is still untouched by large-scale tourism and is still very traditional with little English spoken and life still very much driven by tradition and community. Ceremonies are frequent and guests are welcome to join any of the many local ceremonies ranging from funerals and weddings through to temple odalans, home odalans, three month baby ceremonies, tooth filings etc. English speaking guides are available, if wanted, to explain what it going on and a contribution is given to the banjar for all guests which covers donations to ceremonies or temples.
To the north of the village is protected rainforest which runs up to the summit of Mount Batukaru. Treks to the summit are available to those with a good level of fitness and a shorter trip to Jatiluwih temple in the middle of the forest offers the chance to experience the rainforest first hand.

Simon's place is unlike any we've ever stayed. His insight and integration with the local community makes for some fantastic stories. His staff who cooked and arranged transport were perfect - with some of the best food we've eaten in Indonesia! The location really can't be described and the photos do not do it justice. Be advised that the secluded location does make it a little harder to find and get there, but well worth the trip.

They want a change from the tourist city life and want to experience something else? Simons House is the perfect place for it. We stayed right in Dschugel and enjoying traditional food that goes well beyond Nasi Goreng addition. Simon takes a lot of time for his guests and you learn a lot about the culture and the people on Bali. Sky Garden was yesterday. Here we go into the jungle. There are many dogs.

Jonas2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

What an incredible couple of days I had here! I can't recommend enough. Simon is an excellent host and has created a unique and beautiful place. Surrounded by jungle with an incredible view that reaches for miles, I loved sleeping to the sounds of nature and chilling out on the hammock in the daytime. If you love being close to nature, you'll love this. Everything about my trip was smooth. Simon arranged for a driver to pick me up from the airport and then arranged for a driver to get to my next destination with ease. He's well connected with the local village and has a lot of knowledge about ceremonies, tradition, language and food - so it was a great intro to Bali. One of the most special parts of the experience was the food. A mixture of traditional Balinese daily food and ceremonial dishes, everything is prepared fresh on the day. A trip to the local temple and village was really special too. Thank you so much Simon, I'll be coming back!

Louisa 2017-05-02T00:00:00Z

Accommodation: The house has an interesting architecture and offers a scenic location in the jungle. Due to the open-air design and the many animals we would all be classified more as glamping. Who can do without comfort and meticulous cleanliness, animals and loves nature is the place to go. We have two days very much. Service: When it comes to service all worked out well - from pick-up, guided hike and cooking with Artar, massage and interesting conversations with Simon, who has taken a lot of time for us.

Christine2015-07-29T00:00:00Z

Very nice house and great views. Feel disconnected from the reality of everyday life. We particularly enjoyed the traditional Balinese meal cost yet very filling. Simon is now a host with which it is pleasant to discuss.

agnes2016-11-24T00:00:00Z

Simon was the perfect host and excellent resource of information as he is well versed in the local culture. Prior to my arrival he provided options for an itinerary which included a guided trek taking in many of the local villages, rice paddies, jungle, temples, and even attending an evening ceremony. Other times I would simply relax at the house, walk and explore the local area and trails, or attempt to climb the mountain. The location, house, and experience was exactly as expected. The house was well maintained by a few ladies from the local village who also prepared delicious and unforgettable traditional meals. An aspiring educated chef from the local village, Arta – who was also my trek guide – also came by and impressed with his cooking skills. The local villagers were welcoming and always returned a smile. And even though they spoke little to no English they would still try to hold a conversation. It was truly an experience I will cherish. I recommend Simon’s house for anyone who truly enjoys the outdoors and/or wants to get away from the hectic pace of the tourism scene.

Michael2015-05-27T00:00:00Z

Fantastic house if you like peace. We were really looking for a week after crowds in southern Bali. Lovely fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle and be awakened by the sunrise. You can make beautiful walks and Simons tour has been very special by its own garden. The food he can provide is lovely and mostly home grown. We would definitely come back here.

My place is a traditional Balinese house which rich of great views; wide rice field right at yourback, quite & natural beach, a river & natural water spring. Unlimited fresh coconut water sources. The best place to learn and experience the real Bali.

Stay with the community and experience the way of Balinese people live accompanied by one of the best views at your surroundings.

Friendly neighborhood and the you can experience their living like making Balinese offering, going to the rice field, fishing, dancing, etc, during your stay. They'll love to accompany you.

A highlight of our trip to Bali. Our hosts were gracious and accommodating. The village, was simple but beautiful. Transport was easy to organize. A slice of local life, that was better than we could have imagined!

gerald2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Such a wonderful experience! The family is so welcoming, and accommodating. Made us part of the family. The village is so lovely with the view of the mountains, ocean, as well as rice fields in the "backyard." Out of the 4 places I've stayed in Bali, this topped them all.

Alison2017-02-13T00:00:00Z

Nice Homestay. Aniek and Nengah are very friendly and helpful. Perfect accommodation for learning about the life in Bali. It is very recommendable and made our roadtrip perfect. It was a nice time with some great talks.

Joel2017-09-09T00:00:00Z

Best homestay ever! :) local food, fruit garden, balinese massage, chat and tours with the family, a closeby lonesome beach... off the typical touristic routes! If you want to enjoy the real Bali, go to Puspayasa Homestay and enjoy your stay with this lovely family. Thank you, Mrs and Mr Puspayasa for this heartwarming experience! :)

Lena2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Puspayasa's homestay was my best Airbnb experience so far. Aniek and her parents welcome you at their house with so much love like I never seen before. This is real hospitality and caring. You get the best balinese dishes, massage or also a scooter or bike to rent if you wish. Staying at this place also means enjoying beautiful landscapes of rice fields and lonesome beaches far away from mass tourism. Aniek, Mr & Mrs Puspa, I am thankful that I met you!

Tina2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

We higly recommend this place! We are happy to be there and would defintely come again. It is very relaxing place with the real balinese life. The owner's family is amazing as they helped us a lot when our luggage stayed in another country. Although the delicious breakfast is included, we recommend to have there also a lunch or dinner in order to explore the balinese food. Because of a big garden full of fruits we have enjoyed fresh coconut every morning! Tanah lot is a ideal trip from this place or going to the north. 4 days could be ideal for holiday here. Family also provides a motorcycle for a reasonable price. Thank you again!

Kateřina2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

Perfect place to see real Bali lifestyle, very authentic! And while I was looking around I didn't see any tourist! Amazing english-speaking hosts. Very clean rooms, beds, house territory. In the morning we picked up coconuts :) Just what you need to keep in mind - it's better to use car with high clearance, because roads at non-touristic area are not so good.

Ketut's place is off the beaten path and is very calm and quiet. It's a short walk to a beautiful black sand beach and the local cafe which has excellent food and staff is easily reachable too. If you would like to get back to nature or just move away from the hussel and bussle of life for a little bit, this is definitely the place.

Laura2017-01-28T00:00:00Z

Ketut was a very welcoming and helpful host. Surf lessons were great. The accomodation itself is as good as it gets. Also the spot is probably the most quiet in the whole of Bali. I can only recommend!

Our house is nestled in the middle of banana and coconut plantations with the rice field view. Just 5 minutes drive from the famous surfing spot Balian beach. Enjoy the 250 meter walk to the beach and admire the magical scenery of the Belong Beach, Excellent bird watching right from the deck. It is a perfect place to see the clear view of the stars.

Our house is one bedrooms, king sized bed, with a wide semi outdoor bathroom.A separate kitchen and lounge just side by side, its a convenient and comfort one needs for long and short term stays. There are natural views surrounding the house.

This is a great surfing area with waves at well known Balian and Medewi. For beginners or bodyboarders the beach that we have direct access to has powerful white water. Take care here but have fun. We live within a farming community and it is always interesting to see how the rice fields are maintained so beautifully. There are some lovely cafes and restaurants in Balian to try including Pondok Pitaya which also has a pool on the beach. 20 minutes walk along the beach at low tide you can access magical Mejan beach surrounded by semi circular rock cliffs

The Balian treehouse is only a 3 minute walk away from the beach. From the veranda you can watch the sunrise in the morning, and enjoy the view of our beautiful garden (900m2) with pool. (when fully booked also see https://airbnb.com/rooms/4875630 its called The funky glasshouse).

The space
We have several hangouts in our garden, and our pool is beautiful lit in the evening and turquoise in the daytime just inviting you to jump in. Upstairs is the open living area. The lazy couch on the veranda is overlooking the palm trees (TREEHOUSE) our beautiful garden and pool and has some ocean view aswell. It's the perfect place to wake up and relax drinking your coffee or tea. You can enjoy a nice ocean breeze when you feel its too warm to be outside in the sun or just when you feel the need to be nicely lazy..Inside there is a big (180 x 240) daybed with mosquito net if you need it. Downstairs there is the bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom and a second veranda. We have a rain shower with hot water, there is a standing fan and AC in the bedroom. In the bedroom there is a Flatscreen TV with some channels and movies on demand. The TV has a USB plug so you could take your favo movies or series to watch. We also have a dvd player. We use Indihome fiber for the quickest internet in Bali, so you can stream and download.
When arriving at his lovely and special village, you immediately feel all the good Bali has to offer you. Balian is a small surfer/relax village it feels like the older days in Bali.
We build the house as green as possible with a lot of decoration found in the nature, like the driftwood from the beach. I put a lot of blood, sweat, fun and tears in building this house. We are always busy expanding and updating the house which has to be done living near the ocean!!
Although Made and his wife come to clean everyday it is impossible to get this house sterile, due to the openness and wind and just...nature.
So this is not a house for a hosophobic!
Everything in the village is in walking distance, but if you would like to go for some sightseeing outside the village, you may want to rent a bike.
Please, always wear helmets, not only for your own safety but also the Police will check this regularly.
If you would like to go out for dinner:
(Luckily) There are no DELI's, STARBUCKS or MACDONALDS in the village but we do have enough nice restaurant to choose from.
BALIAN SEGARA, TOM's garden (TOMS SALAD!), Astana had the best burgers (and a lot of sports on TV), Pondok Pitaya, DEKI's, BALIAN beach warung, Gajah Mina, Bintang Balian, the night market and others.
The night market is nearby and has plenty of nice local food for great prices.
Ofcourse there is also the possibility to cook your a simple meal in the kitchenette.
Feel free to pick your own fruit from the garden! (depending of the season we have coconuts, lemons, papayas, lemongrass, jackfruit, passionfruit and more to come)
The area is really safe but we still have a big fire proof safe box were you can put your laptop and other belongings.

I love the feeling of a small community in this village, everyone knows each other and is super friendly. There is a nice mixture of people, local and foreign and all kinds of ages as well. Since we are not the only one who have discovered Balian there are people in Balian creating more beautiful places to stay.
SURFING:
Within 5 minute walking distance from the house you will find 3 beautiful peaks. Excellent for beginners as well as experienced surfers.
At a 15 minute driving distance you will find Medewi, well known for Bali's longest ride when it lines up on a S-SW Swell
All the other surf spots are at a 20 minute - 3 hour drive around the island
This village is a great place to start your holiday (be careful some never left) or end your trip.

I would recommened this to everyone! IT was amazing

This treehouse truly was amazing. I ended up booking last minute and Miryam was fast to respond and work things out so it was possible to book it for the dates I wanted. The house and property itself was just as beautiful as it looked in the pictures. We really liked the laid back atmosphere of Balian Beach, and overall loved our stay here!

Chris2014-04-24T00:00:00Z

Traveling to another country can be unpredictable...Miryam took the guess work out of it. Showing up to the airport with Gusti (the driver) holding a sign with our names on it was the start to a wonderful stay. His knowledge of the island and its history was very helpful and welcoming as we had asked him many questions as we made our way to the Villa. Balian Beach (and Bali in general) boasted the happiest of people, great traditional food options (with Western options available) very good prices, plenty of beaches, sunsets and great energy. As for Miryam's place...we couldn't have asked for anything better. Off the beaten path, yet close to everything. The staff was able to help as needed. It was very comfortable. With the wonderful pool, options for napping (6 in all just on her property), close proximity to the beach and a number of eating establishments and local markets...our recurring question was, "What do we do next; relax, swim or eat?" To add to the excitement and experience, we were given the opportunity to attend a traditional Hindu celebration of a neighbor! Don't forget to explore the area bit... a well hidden trail along the river from the beach to the main road was fun and a remote swimming spot on the beach to the south and west accessible by stairway boasted a large carved fish in the stone cliffs that surrounded it and gave us an option for swimming and sunbathing with no one else around! A massage at the tip of a cliff at Gajah Mina is another must. All in all, the energy was inviting, warm and very positive. Arrive with high expectations and prepare to be utterly satisfied. Arrive with no expectations, and prepare to be swept away!

I have to say how impressed I was with the the host Miryam, the house and its location, and the help from Putu during our stay. Both Miryam and Putu went out of their way to ensure we had the best stay possible - always available to help and taking care of things like scooter hire and providing excellent recommendations for local restaurants and activities. The house itself is a gem - we wish it was ours. The location is perfect, quiet and just a short 5 min walk to the beach and restaurants. Thank you for allowing us into your paradise! If you stay you wont be disappointed!

Emma2015-01-16T00:00:00Z

This place is awesome!!!! Made is phenomenal! He made sure we had everything we needed. We rented scooters and he had one delivered to the house, he ordered a massage for us as well as even climbed a tree and got us a coconut. Everything was within walking distance! The food at the local restaurants was great! This place was super quiet and relaxing, definitely a surf village. I will for sure stay here when I come back to Bali. It was an amazing experience!

Brandilynn2016-12-02T00:00:00Z

The place was absolutely stunning, it was like staying in paradise for a couple of days. Would really recommend!

Nolle2016-02-28T00:00:00Z

This place was absolutely amazing. The location is very quiet but so beautiful and relaxing! There were quite a few restaurants and bars to check out (although we went to Tekor Bali everyday which I definitely recommend). The place looks exactly like the pictures, and Made cut down coconuts everyday for us to enjoy by the pool. Couldn't recommend this place enough, if you're going to Bali, you should definitely put this place on your list. Even if to stay for a few nights then head to somewhere busier like Seminyak (which is what we did).

Amanda2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

We were met at the airport by Gusti who enthusiastically told us about the places we passed and provided us with helpful information. We were then met by Made who was gentle and kind and available throughout our stay and always asked us if there was anything we needed.

Saving the best till last! We spent 18 days in Bali, staying in the most beautiful 5 star hotels along the way. I thought Maya Satori would be a special place, but it exceeded all our expectations. Stunning, peaceful, amazing views, lovely people. The beaches are so much cleaner than anywhere else. The local community takes pride in their village. We enjoyed some lovely banquets prepared by Chef Koko and Ibru Koko and Chef Nyoman looked after us twice, with the best chicken Satays, sweet and sour squid, fish and lobsters. Kadek and partner spoilt us with a healing massage each day. Maya is so sweet and lights up the room with her big smile. She is able to help with any request you may have. Thank you Deborah for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.

Katrina2015-09-29T00:00:00Z

I had an extraordinary stay at the beautiful glass house in Balian. The house itself is superb and the pool is wonderful. Maya's daily breakfast meals were great! Nyoman (freelance driver for hire) was great and me feel secure knowing that he was only 3 minutes away. The beach which is located in front of the house is superb. The location is somewhat remote in terms of travel distance to the next town. Balian means "healer" in the local language and indeed it was an absolutely healing experience. As a side note, wifi is spotty at times so be prepared to purchase a local cell or bring your own wifi hotspot. You will definitely want to have one or the other if you're planning to spend more than a couple of days. I highly recommend the Balian Glass House if you're seeking peace and tranquility.

Cherreka2015-07-17T00:00:00Z

The place is amazing. Maya was wonderful. Super sweet and her breakfasts were awesome. Nyoman was the best driver. The surf camp restaurant down the hill was great. Just make sure you plan for a 2 hour drive to get into Ubud or any other places you want to visit. Other than being away from everything the place and staff are amazing.

Patrick2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

Great views of the surf! Great location in Balian. Much better than we expected, photos dont do this place justice. Saltwater pool is so refreshing! Deborah and Maya were both super easy to deal with. We had a great stay! Thanks!

Brad2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Special piece of paradise still in Bali, Really looked after by Lingga and Maya, couldn't do anymore to make us feel at home and help out in any extra way. Definitely on the list to come back too. Great view, pool, house, hosts ...the list goes on Thumbs Up

Nathan2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

The Balian Surf house is located in paradise. The design and the location of the house are perfect. Waking up in the morning with the view on the ocean, the sound of the waves and knowing you will get served a fresh breakfast is just great. The communication with Deborah was good. Maya (the host) was a great help and serves every morning breakfast. Next we are in Bali we want to stay here again.

Zoe and Quirijn2016-02-20T00:00:00Z

This is a great 'away from the crowds' location. Directly overlooking the beach. A great view and a relaxing ambience. The house is really nice and comfortable and the beds were great to sleep in. It took us a couple of days to get used to the constant sound of the surf but then didn't even notice it. It is good to hire a scooter or car/driver to get into the local village to go to the market or the restaurants, so you are not having to wait or check on the low tide. Maya who comes in daily to cook breakfast and clean is just fantastic, and will help you out with all your needs. A must do is to have a massage with Kadek. BEST massage ever!!!! Another must is to have a meal cooked by Coco. He will organise the menu with you and buy the produce fresh at the local market. In summary a great relaxing getaway far from the crowds.

Tucked away in beautiful of a tranquil rice field you will find an amazing surfer's paradise. The treehouse and open air bathroom are private and full of natural charm. Matahari Surf Camp is only a 2 minute walk to the beach, offering board rental.

Matahari means sun, and this is truly a place for sun worshipers of all kinds. Live a surf safari dream. Book a stay at Matahari Surf Camp in one of the treehouses.
Each treehouse is completely private and comes with a detached bathroom with a traditional toilet and open air shower.

Balian is one of Bali's best surf breaks and remains a beautifully kept secret. Enjoy a natural peaceful beach retreat that reminds you of a Bali long since gone in the tourist areas of south Bali.

I had a very pleasant stay at Ketut's place. The view from the room was amazing, looking over the rice fields. The area was very peaceful and quite with a relatively undiscovered beach. Ketut was a great host, very friendly. He helped me out several times during my stay when I had some problems with my phone.

Cristi2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

What can I say ketut is one of the most beautiful souls that I have met in Bali, my stay in his house was truly awesome, from surfing to laying in a hammock and watching the world go past. There is an amazing little beach cafe just 5 mins walk away, they cook the best food ( the curry is a must try) very good value for money. On some night some of the locals invited us to eat and drink with them although the language is sometimes a barrier, laughter is universal, as a solo female traveller I always felt very safe, around this place. The nature that you see around the house is beautiful. I highly recommend this place for people that want a back to basic trip to switch off from the outside world and live in the here and now. X

Sam2016-11-23T00:00:00Z

I had a wonderful stay here! It was the perfect, quiet escape I was looking for. Ketut was very helpful in arranging a few tours to see the countryside and overall was very kind and welcoming. I'm not a surfer, but the beach seemed really popular with surfers, but it never felt crowded or touristy.

Karen2016-04-04T00:00:00Z

This place is truly an authentic and rare find. The village is charming, quiet, peaceful.. A large stream rushing through the village instantly puts you at peace. It truly is a perfect, off-the-grid getaway. You have everything you need here and it remains a private, non touristy location. There is a beachside restaurant (with wi-fi) just down the street that is open from about (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) each day. Great food, coffee, and very friendly staff. You can arrange surf lessons, pickup from the airport, even travel to your next (close) destination. We had a fantastic time here and would recommend to anyone. Especially those looking to reflect and relax without the hustle and bustle of a busy tourist area. By far one of the best parts of our visit to Bali.

Lauren2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

I really enjoyed my time in Balian. The area itself is super quiet and chill, perfect for doing nothing and just relaxing by the beach. The accommodation is a simple room along with a tiny washroom, overlooking a small rice field. There are 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a couple chickens that roam freely through the accommodation, they make great company! The road to the beach is very scenic - pastoral, green hills with palm trees and cows. The beach itself is less than five minutes away on foot. There's a small, affordable restaurant on the beach that you'll probably visit many times. I wasn't able to meet Ketut, but he maintained wonderful communication through the whole time. His nephew Wayan hosted me and was super helpful, welcoming and kind. The water stopped working a couple times during my stay, but it was fixed quickly. Also, it can get pretty humid at night and the bed/pillows get a bit damp, but nothing unbearable. And because Balian is kind of far from the airport and main city (about two hours by car), the transfers can get a bit expensive so just keep that in mind and remember to bring enough cash. Overall, it was a unique, peaceful, lovely experience and I really recommend it!

Timothy2016-05-07T00:00:00Z

It was just perfect! We came directly from the airport and it was so calm and the best place to arrive in bali. The treehous is simple but we just sleep there so totaly ok! Ketut was super helpfull with informations, organisation and match more. We could go for fishing with him and he get us fresh coconut...thank you for this start!

Martina2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Ketut is indeed a good host! Location is perfect if you like the noise of crickets and frogs in the night :-) Beach is very close, scooter cheap, waves great! Wayan is a great guide and chauffeur if you travel with him. Find out how the real Bali is! :-)

Sander2016-02-14T00:00:00Z

If you love spending the whole day at the beach, enjoying the sun and go surfing, this is a good place to go. Everything is minimalistic but the people there are so friendly and helpful! For my friend and me, it was a real adventure and we experienced the "real bali". Thanks, Ketut!

Wayan was a perfect hotel. The house is beautiful and the place is magical. Wayan prepared us for superbed breakfasts and arranged our arrival perfectly until departure. It was a very nice experience. I recommend.

Fré2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Wow! This place is a little peace of heaven. Wayan and his wife were the most friendly hosts I have ever come across. This place is a must stay! Great surf within walking distance and beautiful location in the rice field. Absolutely perfect stay!!

Colin2016-12-02T00:00:00Z

Wayan was really a nice host and made everything so that our staying be great. It was well appreciated! We went to this superb authentic Balinese house among the rice terrace which was amazing !! The experience was so powerful, just to be in the middle of this nature and culture. Thanks

Mael2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

An excellent value for a two-bedroom villa in Bali. Away from the tourists and dizziness of the larger cities, and only five minute walk to a beautiful stretch of uncrowded beach. Be prepared for a 15-20 minute walk on the beach and uphill to get to the village, and for the rustic open-air atmosphere that comes with living on a rice terrace. Wayan does provide a scooter for his guests, but we chose not to use it only because we are unfamiliar with driving scooters and international driving in general. The ocean has great waves for playing in or surfing, and the village has a friendly atmosphere. The house is well equipped with a good kitchen and the host prepares very good breakfast for his guests. There are many options for visiting other parts of Bali from this location, but be prepared for one to two hour drive to most destinations. Wayan, Made, and Ketut are all very attentive to the guests and will help in any way they can. We had a very peaceful and fulfilling visit to this tranquil spot.

Talia2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

The location is great, in a quiet area, close to the beach. The villa is really nice, authentic, exactly as described by the pictures, in a beautiful rice field. The place is really peacfull. It's a nice place to rest. It's just two minutes walk to Balian beach which is great for surfing or enjoying the excellent warung at Balian surf camp. Wayan and Ketut are excellent hosts. Very welcoming, kind and interesting people... and Wayan makes excellent breakfasts! We all enjoyed our stay there. The kids loved it. The only regret is that we should have stay longer...

Julien2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

Wayan and Ketut were perfect hosts and looked after after us. Magnificent house at rice field, a short way to the beach. The only small caveat: nocturnal traffic noise from the nearby main road.

Dietrich2016-08-02T00:00:00Z

Beautifull and romantic old javanese house, moved to the balian-ricefields were the host's father still tends his ricefields daily. Wayan is a caring host, he prepares good breakfast while his dogs happily roam about and his beautifull and witty young daughter that has yet to start at school shows off her skills in english. Ketut is a laid back local surfer, friendly and totally at ease. The downsides of this marvelous place: the noise of the trucks at night, on the mainroad. Out of sight but when the winds falls down at night not out of hearing. Also the road to the village is not nice for pedestrians due to heavy traffic and no sidewalks. You can easily go by the beach though, once you've figgured out where tot wade trough the shallow river. In the dry season that is.

Mark2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

This place is great. There are a number of options for the type of accommodation. We stayed in a house with a second suite in the same unit the kitchen is shared. When we were there, we had the whole place to ourselves. We had to get in late and Ketut met us after sundown and took us and walked us up through the rice fields. Wayan came and cooked us breakfast in the mornings and we ate on the deck looking down over the fields and people working. The bed was comfy, the shower is hot and the whole place has a wonderful relaxed vibe. It is a short walk to the black sand beach with town just across the river at low tide, with places for a snack and a drink right on the beach. Ketut teaches surfing nearby and the waves are great. An amazing spot. Thank you Wayan and Ketut!
